Join her in her 2 BR, 3 BA 1,800-square-foot duplex in West Harlem on September 1. Monthly rent: $1,750 (though Heidee is currently attempting to negotiate a lower price with her landlord.)
About Heidee: “I am a 34-year-old emergency room nurse who works 12-hour shifts three or four nights a week, and I work every other weekend. When I get home from work, I like to read, watch a little TV or just crash. Working in the ER can be pretty grueling. I have an active social life when my schedule allows; and on my long weekends off, I like to get away, especially during the summer.”
About you: “I’m responsible, neat, considerate, and respectful of others’ space and privacy. I expect the same from my roommate.”
About the space: “It’s in a beautiful brownstone building and has exposed brick and really high ceilings throughout. The first floor has a big living room with a working fireplace, a full bathroom, an enormous kitchen with an open layout, new kitchen appliances (dishwasher/microwave) and a separate dining area with two french doors opening to a balcony. The second floor has the bedrooms, each on opposite sides of the loft-style layout. The room to be rented has its own full bathroom, a working fireplace and a skylight. (Actually, both bedrooms have their own bathrooms and skylights.) There is access to the rooftop and another balcony on the second floor. The apartment has a washer and dryer in the unit.”
About the area: “The apartment is next to St. Nicholas Park in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. I’ve been living here for one and a half years and come home at different hours of the night and have always felt safe. There is street parking and is very easy to find a spot daily. It’s close to the B, C, 1, 2, and 3. The A and D express trains can be taken one stop away. There is a Starbucks, a few Duane Reades, a Pathmark and two New York Sports Clubs within a few blocks from the apartment. The river bike path is easily accessible, and the Riverbank State Park is nearby, which has a soccer field, tennis courts, basketball courts, Olympic-size pool and more.”
